the unruly loot shoot

by Sharon Santoni

 

“It must be that time of year again” is the caption I would put to this picture as Ghetto  looks at Gibson  and sighs.

Spring = brocante fairs = loot shoots = camera = sitting still …. =  ….quite-a-few-biscuits.

That is how it worked this morning.  The mutts have got out of practice when it comes to sitting still, and although Gibson was happy to oblige, Ghetto would only sit still-ish if  bribed copiously with dog biscuits….. Whatever … star quality comes at a price, and today I was happy to pay it.

Besides I wanted to show you today’s loot, some of which I’ll be keeping, and some will find its way into the store.

And look at the lovely china I found this morning, a whole service in good condition, with a charming pattern, and a beautiful manufacturer’s stamp beneath each piece.

Besides the china I found a nice little chair, MY sort of chair, I have these scattered all over the house, I love them.  Also some sweet little copper pots with lids, a pretty cake plate , a marquetry monogram and a couple of lengths of ticking …. and all that before breakfast!

Love all of it! thank you for sharing your pets too! I think the reason I like your site so much is because it kind of fits into my style…I like to call it elegant eclectic primitive…ha! So love things of many ilks..but do love French style! But just as I am an American mutt with a deep respect for history my home reflects that! Love the puppers! have a fabulous week! Kit

First of all, I love your dogs. They never fail to bring a smile to a weary & tired body. I can’t imagine someone giving up an entire set of those lovely treasured china. What treasures you have found. I still need to get around to paint those dogs of yours. The best subject matters without a doubt. Thank you for such a lovely post on this gorgeous Sunday morning here in Arizona.

Great purchases. Such finds are rarer in our “neck of the woods”. I can picture the whole of your loot in My French Folly. Warm regards.

Your brocante finds are lovely, but you may be even more talented at photographing dogs…especially your divine duo!! Appreciatively, as always, Leslie

Jeg elsker å finne ut nye ting і senga, prøv igjen uansetgt hva
det еr, så lenge ddet еr greit for begge parter,
og ingen bblir skadet. Ɗu kan bådе ggi opp kontaktannonse og flørte
med damer på sexchat og Erotikk chat. Som еen varm jente som ønsker å tа vare på din varme kropp.
